Your use case sounds like a good fit for the `org-habit' module. See
(info "(org) Tracking your habits"). A habit is like a periodic TODO
which you mark DONE each time you complete it for the day, but it resets
itself to being "undone" again after an interval of time passes. Habits
also come with a nice display in agenda views to show you how often you
actually do something. (I use this feature to track my daily meditation
habits, for example). This way, together with org's time clock, the
task is periodic, but the clock times and relevant notes can still all
be kept in one place and the task can be represented as a single
headline.
Best,
